WHAT ARE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IMITATION PEARLS AND CULTURED PEARLS?

A marketing firm reported that SouthSea Shell Pearls were inserted into a lot of SouthSea pearls as a marketing experiment and buyers could not tell the difference. SouthSea Shell Pearls are imitation pearls. They not made of wax, plastic, glass, and made in a laboratory from SouthSea oyster shells. Fine imitations today that can be very convincing. Some have actually been mistaken for fine cultured pearls.Cultured pearls are produced in bays or lakes by living in oysters or mollusks. Imitation pearls also call faux , are not created by any living creature. Imitation pearls have never seen the inside of a mollusk. They made from glass , plastic , or shell beads. The culturedpearl will have a depth of luster that the fake cannot duplicate.Use the tooth test to spot the fake. RELIABLE TEST IN MOST CASES IS THE TOOTH TEXT. Run the pearl gently along the edge of your teeth , the genuine pearl will have a mildly abrasive or gritty feel , and the imitation will be slippery smooth , Try this on pearls you will know are genuine or fake. But the tooth text may be unreliable for amateurs when applied to the imitation Majorica pearl ,Although to the trained eye they have a very different look from cultured pearls, this is an imitation pearl which might be mistaken for genuine . But close examination of the surface with a loupe will reveal a fine “pinpoint’’ surface that is very different from the smooth surface of a cultured pearl. An experienced jeweler or gemologist can quickly and easily identify the Majorica for you. Pacific Pearls International Guarantee all our pearls are genuine ,Sold to our customer around the world.
